Personal opinion

As fortunately this weather inconvinient has been noticed in advance, people can be warned by authorities so they can suffer the less not only talking about economy but for their own security. On the other hand, governments should have a protocol to follow since these type phenomens take place frecuently and also, they must have some emergency budget so the population can be resguarded and the economy wouldn´t be that much affected.
